Impossible Engineering

Behind every seemingly impossible marvel of modern engineering is a cast
of historic trailblazers who designed new building techniques, took
risks on untested materials and revolutionised their field. Brand new
series, ‘Impossible Engineering', is a tribute to their achievements.
Each episode details how giant structures, record-beating buildings, war
ships and space crafts are built and work. As the show revels in these
modern day creations, it also leaps back in time to recount the stories
of the exceptional engineers whose technological advances made it all
possible. How would they have ever existed without the historical work
of their ancestors? Interviews with their great advocates bring
engineering history to life and retell how these incredible
accomplishments shaped the modern world.
